FLY, vol. 1 (2016-2017)

The idea for creating a FLY zine came from an open mic night in early 2016, which celebrated the creative talent of women and non-binary people of colour from all across Cambridge.

FLY’s first zine is themed around Bodies and Voices. Often, our stories are told for us; too often, our stories are not told at all. Because of this, our bodies and voices become sites of resistance, starting points in the process of taking ownership of our own narratives. In putting this zine together, we wanted to create a space to celebrate the work of people like us, people whose experiences of life and of Cambridge in particular are complex, painful and joyful.

To the amazing contributors and editorial team who helped this happen – thank you.
